pamban viaduct

.

Still I'm in Tamil Nadu, I didn't get chance to visit the temple. Feeling very sad. :(

y?

Don't be sad...Take a break from your Busy schedule...visit the temple...one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Siva...

Where is pamban ? And on which river this bridge is situated ?

this is not river..the bridge is over bay of bengal(palk strait)..on the way to rameswaram..2.3km long bridge..

The Pamban Bridge is a cantilever bridge on the Palk Strait connects Rameswaram on Pamban Island to mainland India. It refers to both the road bridge and the cantilever railway bridge, though primarily it means the latter. It was India's first sea bridge. It is the second longest sea bridge in India (after Bandra-Worli Sea Link) at a length of about 2.3 km. The rail bridge is for the most part, a conventional bridge resting on concrete piers, but has a double leaf bascule section midway, which can be raised to let ships and barges pass through.

pamban is a place in madurai rameshwaram route. not river its sea.

this is Pamban bridge..(from bird's view)...shows both Road(NH 49)&Rail Bridge connecting Island(Rameswaram)with Mainland...

Wowww!! What a Shot!!!

this one i got it from FB

I have heard a story of a bridge below which ships used to pass....during british rule,an accident took place when a dutyman was on duty with his son and was closing the two halves of the bridge rapidly as a train was approaching but his son was sacrificed as he was stuck inbetween the pulley of that machine which was used to close the bridge....kya ye wahi bridge hai ??

the same bridge only...but this is a fake story..

for opening of bridge it requires 2 hours minimum block of traffic.....so the story is a fake one...

so the story is fake....thanks for telling that....but this mighty bridge is looking very nice....it can make any indian feel pride.... :-)

absolutely..My home-town is Rameswaram where im staying now..

Great pic sir....it's one of the wonders of IR

for more pics of Pamban bridges & blogs /station/blog/3759

your hometown is one of the most beautiful place of india.....but still there is no direct connectivity from my hometown bilaspur for such a tourist spot....:-(

On the station blog,there was a pic showing a ship damaged the bridge....that means still ships use to move below this bridge

Not only that until d bridge is in locked condition, the signal won't clear and d train won't pass. And d train won't move @ 100 KMPH. d driver will stop d train if d bridge is not closed

yes...in future we can expect more number of trains to RMM as it is one of the pilgrim spot in India next to Varanasi....

yes...the middle part of the bridge gets opened for passing of ships...

agree...the allowed speed is 15km/hr in the bridge....if wind speed is more than 50km/hr then the trains wont get signal to cross the bridge..

But still d old type signal is being used ?

yes in both end of the bridge the old signalling system is used...

During cyclones / Hvy rains, are trains allowed to pass d bridge... Road bride is higher than d rail bridge... is there any reason that y rail bridge is still at lower level..... can't they raise d level of d bridge so that d ship can pass w/o any hassles ? Any scientific reason for maintaining d bridge level low ?

this bridge was constructed by british in 1914.....so Indian engineers just renovated it to Broad-Gauge....During heavy rains also the train is allowed to pass...only if the wind speed is 50+km/hr then the train is not allowed...

awesome.

Yes , all pic are taken OCT, 2011

thanx....

So sad.

Thanx a lot for all the valueable info.

Yes Mr Dubey..it is a wonder and worth a visit

Thanks for posting.

Great Picture

It will be average crowded, not heavy u can go.

Same like Early bird gets the worm.. u gotta go 30-45 before departure to get seats, usually seats will be there how ever scattered.

average crowd on normal days and heavy rush in holidays, so be 1 hr early MDU to get comfort place to sit on normal days

yes it is having decent crowd...you can get accomodation...

I think Fridays there is heavy crowd .. many go to Erwadi for Dargah!!

to get seat u have to go the station 30-45 mins earlier..
